Dominican youth leader, Nadege Roach, has been elected to the first Caribbean Regional Youth Council (CRYC).
The election took place at the 3rd Caribbean Youth Leaders Summit which was held in Gros Islet, St Lucia from December 4-6.
The regional council is part of concerted efforts toward strengthening national youth organizations and charting a path toward a regional youth governance mechanism.
Youth leaders from the UNDP Youth Think Tank, the CARICOM Youth Ambassadors Corps and the Commonwealth Youth Council, participated and lent their voices to the deliberations at the summit.
The executive is as follows:
Timothy Ferdinand-Chairperson (St. Lucia National Youth Council),
Tiffany Daniels-Vice Chairperson for Membership and Partnerships (Guyana National Youth Council, Interim),
Shanice Webb -Vice Chairperson for Resource Mobilisation (Trinidad Youth Council),
Michael Xavier- Vice Chairperson for Advocacy and Policy (Guyana National Youth Council, Interim),
Farmala Jacobs- Board Member for Training and Development (Antigua National Youth Ambassador Corps)
Nadege Roach – Board Member for Communications and Information (National Youth Council of Dominica)
Words of encouragement were offered to the newly elected executive by one of the CRYC’s chief architects and Programme Manager at the Commonwealth Youth Programme Caribbean Centre, Dwynette Eversley.
Eversley urged the new executive to continue justifying the investment made in them by committing themselves to building a strong regional youth network which was inclusive, representative and addressed issues related to all Caribbean youth.
These sentiments were echoed by the outgoing Chairman of the Interim Steering Committee, Jason Francis, who reminded the delegates of the critical role they play in improving the quality of life for youth across the Caribbean.
In his first official address, Chairperson Timothy Ferdinand, expressed his gratitude to all of the youth delegates and organisations present and pledged to make the necessary commitments and sacrifices to see the CRYC become a successful pan-Caribbean organisation.
